Managing friends list

  I didn't know what category this should really go in.   I was wondering if WGT ever thought about having an option where you can manage your friend list and have like your top friends on display, rather than the last friends you added.  Thoughts?

  The list is alphabetical. The available (green) online friends are listed first , then the busy (red) ones and finally the offline ones. Each group is alphabetized separately.

  Jim, the alphabetical lists are buggy again, they no longer work correctly. They worked correctly for a couple of months or so, before the various status colours got introduced. Now the lists are jumbled up again.

  For example, right now the red dot listing for me is: "... jeffdos924, SweetiePie, andyson, fluffton..." which is clearly wrong. I often see 2 separate alphabetic listings for the red dot, and 2 separate listings for the green dot. It's very confusing.

  Hopefully WGT fixes this soon.

  You'll have to forgive him, Faterson.... YJ still has tears in his eyes after his beloved pinstripe crowd ~choked~ away a 5 run lead on opening day.... I'm surprised he's even able to find his computer today.

  Jus' pullin' yer chain, YJ... lol... we all know it's a marathon and not a sprint...  but still, a winning run on a PB can't leave a good taste in the mouth.

  And, now back to your regularly scheduled topic...

  LMAO-I woulda bet Oak would have taken the first shot. Don't you realize the Sox win the World Series every spring? Just ask their fans. 1 down, 161 to go.

  I never noticed the friends list bug because mine's always right. Sheesh, I am so entitled........

  I wish I knew what that means! Must be one of those American games whose rules are utterly incomprehensible to us Europeans. I'm not even sure if you're talking about "football" or baseball, and which sport it is that runs a contest titled "World Series" in which the world does not participate, only American teams...   Well anyway, cultural differences aside, it's nice to see that golf seems to have a wider universal appeal and that it has now achieved Olympic status (permanently, let's hope!), something that baseball lost after a few events.

  Not that they really compete any more, but there is a Canadian team in the "American League" LOL

  Just to clarify, I BELIEVE Alexa is referring to the list that shows in your PROFILE. 

  I could be wrong though (top friends on display rather than most recent sounds like profile however)

  That would be like Slovakia going into the last minute of a soccer game winning 2-0 and giving up 3 goals to lose! That would be exciting to me but it pales in comparison to the 0-0 game. Whaddya mean nobody won? They played for 2 hours and nobody won??!!

  Baseball is the only sport that does not have a clock. There is always a winner and a loser.You have to get 27 outs (24 if you're home team) to win. If you can't hold onto a lead for those outs you lose. When you get a big lead it's worse when you can't hold it because it brings great joy to anti-rooters. It's like gagging on that 3 foot putt to win and 3 putting to lose a match.

  I had the distinct pleasure of playing in a true World Series against teams from Sweden, Denmark, Holland and believe it or not-Russia. Every year in November in Arizona teams from all over the world meet and compete in a baseball event. 6 games in 4 days to get to the playoffs. The Russians were a trip to hang with. They couldn't understand us and we couldn't understand them but put a bat and a ball in their hands and they were instantly at ease and comfortable playing a universal game, albeit not very good.

  Baseball as an Olympic sport would never work. Too much money is being spent on the best players and the allure of the gold medal is not enough to risk injury, damaging the goods this money is spent on. Witness Boston's woes with their Japanese pitcher that pitched for his country in the last World Baseball Classic. He's slated to pitch in a AAA game here on his way back from rehabbing  the sore arm he got playing for his country's glory. Boston spent  $51,000,000 in this guy!!!

  Golf works for everybody. From the accomplished veteran to those that have never even had a club in their hands. Baseball does too, just like soccer. All you need is some open space, a few rudimentary tools and a competitive spirit. The human nature is what really makes them all a World experience.
